Perse Prep school gets closer to a dog for life, not just Christmas

The Perse Prep school is on target to name and sponsor a Hearing Dog that will make a real difference to someone’s life, thanks to phenomenally successful Christmas events.

The school raised more than £3000 through its Christmas Fair, theatrical productions and musical events, putting the goal of raising the £5000 needed within reach by the end of the academic year.

Commenting on the festive fun Acting Head Matthew Jelley said:

“I would like to thank the Perse Prep Parents’ Committee and all who supported them, as well as those who donated prizes, for the brilliant Christmas Fair which raised more than £2000.

The shows in the run-up to Christmas have really put us in the festive spirit. I am always struck by the poise of our children on stage, and their competence in remembering and following quite complex direction. I would also like to pay tribute to our pupil stage crew who worked tirelessly on the Year 5 and 6 concert performances and our gifted staff who really get the best out of the diverse range of talents in our student body.”
